New brand seeks to revive comics

A set of weekly comics aimed at reviving the moribund             local comics industry will come out starting August. Titled Joe             D’Mango’s Love Notes and Charo Santos Concio’s Maalaala Mo             Kaya, the sets will come out in 40,000 outlets nationwide and in             specially designed stalls along major thoroughfares in Metro Manila.                            “Comics can be instrumental in             helping increase literacy and in values formation,” explained Guia             Yonzon, editor of the new brand Bituin Komiks. “Our product is             ready and our distribution network is extensive and solid.”                            Bituin Komiks, which will cost no             more than a small bottle of soft drink, was helped developed by             Mango Comics, an imprint of the Yonzon Entertainment Syndicate.                             Yonzon was responsible for the             revival of Darna, with its three-part Darna Golden Anniversary             issue, and also for the development of characters and comics for the             popular theme park Enchanted Kingdom.                            The new brand Bituin Komiks will             also come out with a variety of other titles and is currently             negotiating with Carlo Caparas and young comics creators such as             Gerry Alanguilan and Arnold Arre.                            Bituin Komiks will be a major             player in the new era of Philippine comics. “We believe in the             medium and its potential in harnessing the artistic and literary             talents of our people,” Yonzon continued, adding that with the             economic resurgence, the time for the new golden age of comics is             now.”
